: : Hi, : : I'm thinking about opening a business. In my presentation and possibly on my website I will have a 30 second musical intro (Benny Goodman rendition of "Get Happy"). : : The music is from a CD I currently own. If I use the music without getting a license is that breaking copywright law? : : If it is, are there any loopholes for getting around the copywright? i.e. are there musical selections somewhere that do not have copywright? (Although I really do have my heart set on this particular song . . .) : : Any advice would be much appreciated, : : Thanks, : : Irene : Dear Irene, : ASCAP, SECSAC and BMI are in business to find people who do what you propose. : M.
